Chapter 1170: Volume 7: Across the Human World, Chapter 1166: Feather Transformation Sect

“So it appears that the silver-haired elder has already passed away,” Han Li murmured to himself before raising his head to look at the top of the cave, seemingly immersed in deep thoughts.

Originally, the ceiling of the cave seemed to have been broken through by a Ghost Spirit Sect cultivator, but after hundreds of years, there were now no signs of repair.

Seeing Han Li lost in thought, the large man surnamed Meng didn’t dare show any abnormal reaction and maintained a respectful expression on his face.

Suddenly, Han Li flicked his sleeve without any warning, and a mass of cyan mist swept up towards the large man’s head.

The large man was startled, but before any other thoughts could turn in his mind, everything went dark and he lost consciousness.

Han Li glanced at the large man who had fallen unconscious on the ground, then suddenly flicked his fingers back toward the Array behind him, sending out several streaks of golden sword Qi.

With a “boom” sound, the Array shattered under the sword light and then disappeared without a trace, leaving a big pit on the ground.

Since the transportation formation on the side of Scattered Stars Sea had been repaired by him, there was no longer a need for this formation to exist. Otherwise, if someone else had the Greater Displacement Medallion, they could also transport themselves to Scattered Stars Sea.

Han Li intended to keep control of this shortcut solely in his hands, with no inclination to share it with anyone. As for the structure of this transportation formation, he had it at his fingertips now and could reestablish it anytime at the original site if necessary.

Anyway, with his current financial resources, the exorbitant cost of materials needed for setting up the transportation formation, which was almost an astronomical figure to him in the past, was no longer an issue…

After doing all this, Han Li reached out with one hand towards the large man lying on the ground.

A tremendous suction force grabbed the man’s head, and then with a flash of brilliance in his eyes, Han Li began to exercise a secret technique.

It wasn’t until a long while later that Han Li loosened his five fingers, dropping the large man surnamed Meng on the ground and muttered to himself emotionlessly:

“You’re lucky I’m not one to go back on my word. Even though I won’t kill you, I must erase the memory of you having seen me emerging from the transportation formation.”

Han Li instantly performed a spell to alter the man’s memory, making him recall that a high-level cultivator suddenly descended from the skies, killed the other people on the spot, and the ancient transportation formation was unintentionally destroyed in the aftermath of the attack.

With Han Li’s current cultivation level, unless a Deity Transformation stage cultivator made a move, no cultivator would be able to undo the restrictions he had set, so he was quite confident about that.

After having finished all this, Han Li released several fireballs, turning the corpses of several Devil Flame Sect cultivators to ashes. Then a cyan aura burst forth around him, wrapping up the young girl behind him and turning into a cyan rainbow that shot up into the sky.

With a heaven-shaking noise, the repaired cave ceiling by the Ghost Spirit Sect was pierced and shattered, and the cyan rainbow streaked into the sky in a flash before disappearing from sight. The streak of light spiraled once and, after a few flashes, vanished without a trace.

Leaving aside how the other Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators were utterly shocked and how they found the large man surnamed Meng unconscious in the cave after a chaos ensued, and how the surprise attack of the Devil Flame Sect on the Ghost Spirit Sect inadvertently came to an abrupt end, Han Li had already swiftly fled towards the direction of the State of Xi.

With Han Li’s current level of cultivation, his streak of light was incredibly swift. Even though he wasn’t fully exerting himself, the speed of his travel was nonetheless astonishing and fearsome to hear of.

Occasionally, cultivators he passed by on the road only saw a streak of cyan light flickering in the sky one moment, and in the next, that cyan light improbably appeared far behind them, and only then did they barely hear a faint sound of air being torn.

These cultivators were naturally startled, with the more advanced ones realizing they had encountered a great cultivator with Great Divine Power, filling their hearts with awe, while the less advanced ones were puzzled and terrified, thinking they might have encountered some demons or ghosts in broad daylight.

Several days later, Han Li flew out of the State of Yue and entered the territory of State of Yuan Wu.

After flying through State of Yuan Wu for two days, Han Li suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment, then his streak of light changed, carrying Tian Qin’er as he shot off in another direction, temporarily altering his planned course.

Near a remote mountain in State of Yuan Wu, a dazzling cyan rainbow tens of feet long tore through the sky, reaching the mountain’s airspace in a blink of an eye. The aura dimmed, and Han Li and Tian Qin’er’s figures emerged.

Han Li glanced down at the mountain, a poignant expression on his face, then his spiritual sense swept down, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

This was the mountain where Xin Ruyin had once lived in seclusion. Although it seemed as if everything remained unchanged, the location where Xin Ruyin once resided was now filled with the auras of many cultivators. Most of them were at the Qi Refinement Realm and Foundation Establishment Stage, but there were also a couple of Core Formation cultivators.

Moreover, some of the Arrays and restrictive formations set up by Xin Ruyin were still in place, and the area below was covered in thick white fog, obscuring any clarity into what lay within.

Han Li narrowed his eyes and fell into a contemplative silence.

“Master, what’s happened?” Tian Qin’er blinked her eyes and asked cautiously from the side.

“It’s nothing. It’s just that it’s been a few years since I’ve been here, and I didn’t expect that there would now be a few unwelcome guests,” Han Li replied indifferently. However, the young girl perceived a slight displeasure on Han Li’s face and wisely chose not to pursue the matter further.

But, Han Li glanced back at the young girl and then unexpectedly asked her a question:

“What do you think of this mountain?”

“This mountain? Although the spiritual energy is somewhat thin, the scenery is not bad,” said Tian Qin’er, looking puzzled as she scrutinized the mountain and hesitantly responded.

“Oh! This is close to the dwelling of an old acquaintance of mine from years gone by!” A trace of disappointment flickered across Han Li’s face, but he quickly recovered his composure and raised a hand.

With a “puchi,” a lump of red fireball suddenly emerged.

As the fireball spun swiftly on Han Li’s palm, its size increased at an inconceivable rate. Within the span of a breath, it had grown to the size of a washbasin, a truly startling sight.

Han Li gave a cold glance downward, waved his hand, and the fireball transformed into a cascade of red light that plummeted down like a falling meteor, crashing into the fog in a fleeting moment.

The nearby fog roiled violently, and with a “boom,” a fiery cloud burst forth within the white mist. Waves of fire rolled out in all directions, forcibly creating a hole over ten zhang wide in the restriction, which continued to rapidly expand as the white fog disintegrated.

The entire restriction was thus effortlessly shattered by Han Li’s mere fireball with a wave of his hand.

As the white fog dissipated, the scene below slowly came into view. Terraces and pavilions densely packed the area beneath them, while the bamboo house that Xin Ruyin had built in the past was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing this, Han Li’s expression darkened.

However, the commotion caused by Han Li immediately startled all the cultivators in the vicinity, and in an instant, they spotted the two figures of Han Li and his companion, hovering motionlessly in the sky.

Instantly, a dozen cultivators immediately took to the air on their magical tools, heading straight for Han Li.

But just at this moment, a clear voice suddenly rang out from a cliff below:

“May I know which distinguished guest has graced our Feather Transformation Sect? I am Guan Qing; my apologies for not greeting you from afar.” As the voice fell, a streak of red light shot out from the cliffside, overtaking the Foundation Establishment cultivators below, and appeared before Han Li in an instant. The light receded to reveal a middle-aged cultivator clad in a scholar’s robe.

This was precisely the Core Formation cultivator that Han Li had sensed.

From the top of the highest pavilion below, another streak of yellow light also flew out. Its speed was just as swift, and after a few flashes, it reached them following closely behind the red light. It was a dark-skinned old man with a sturdy build.

This was another Core Formation cultivator.

By this time, the Foundation Establishment cultivators had just arrived nearby, standing behind the two elders with utmost respect, making it apparent they saw the scholar and the old man as their leaders.

“Feather Transformation Sect? Never heard of it; is it a newly established sect?” The hint of a frown appeared on Han Li’s brow as he spoke indifferently, his body suddenly emitting an astonishing spiritual pressure, a formidable aura pressing down towards the two men opposite him.

The scholar and the old man were taken aback, their complexions drastically shifting as they staggered several steps backward before stabilizing themselves.

“A Nascent Soul cultivator?” The scholar couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

“Senior, are you a late-stage great cultivator?” The dark-skinned old man sent his spiritual sense sweeping over Han Li and wore an expression of disbelief, calling out even more astonished.

He had strong spiritual sense indeed, immediately identifying Han Li’s cultivation level which was not concealed, naturally causing him to be greatly shocked.

“A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?” The scholar took another fright, also sending his spiritual sense over.

Han Li, on the other hand, stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his face expressionless as he examined the two men.

After the scholar also swept his spiritual sense over Han Li, his complexion turned no better than that of the old man. They exchanged glances and almost simultaneously stepped forward to give a deep bow. Then, with excessive respect, the old man said:

“Junior pays respect to senior! Our sect was recently established. May I know if senior has any instructions for visiting our sect? Whatever senior commands, our sect will strive to comply with.”

The scholar also bore the same expression of respect,

Confronted by a great cultivator who could annihilate their entire sect with a mere gesture, both men were genuinely terrified and extremely anxious.

After all, Han Li’s action of breaking the prohibition was not a particularly good omen.

As for the group of Foundation Establishment cultivators behind them, seeing their masters and elders suddenly become so, and hearing the phrases “late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator” and the like, they too became agitated. They all dared not even breathe loudly, displaying a fearful and apprehensive demeanor.

After all, for these low-level cultivators, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation represented the pinnacle of the human world, something everyone dreams of reaching.

“Since it is a newly established sect, there should be a Nascent Soul cultivator present. Where is your master?” Han Li swept his gaze over the cultivators and asked in a cold voice.

“Our teacher, Huang Yao, left to visit friends a month ago. Currently, the two of us are in charge of the sect,” the old man replied stiffly.

“No matter, that’s not important. When did you move to this place? What happened to the previous occupants?” Han Li’s eyes flickered as he inquired.

“Our sect moved here seventy years ago. As for the previous occupants…” Upon hearing Han Li’s question, the old man paused, involuntarily casting a glance at the scholar.

Upon hearing Han Li’s question, the scholar was also taken aback, but he immediately turned and shouted without looking back:

“Feng Zhi! Come here, senior has a question for you!”

As soon as these words fell, that group of Foundation Establishment cultivators all turned their gaze “shua” onto one of their own.

An old cultivator around sixty years old, with the appearance of a refined scholar.

And this cultivator named “Feng Zhi” wore an equally astonished expression at this moment.
